Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Sprinkle flour over a sheet of waxed paper. Place thawed pastry onto the sheet and gently roll the pastry into a square. Pierce the bottom with a fork and place into a tart pan or baking dish. Brush egg wash over edge of pastry. Spread cheese over bottom of dough. Arrange asparagus spears over the cheese in a wagon wheel pattern (or place them in a linear shape--cut the asparagus to fit the shape of your pan). Bake 18 to 20 minutes.

Rattlebridge Farm's Guilt-Free Cake﻿ serves 6

1 "no sugar added" angle food cake (grocery store)

1 carton sugar free cool whip

fruit

"Ice" the cake with Cool Whip and garnish.

Yep, it's that easy. I used oranges because my husband was craving them. In the past, I've garnished angel food and pound cakes with fresh flowers HERE and HERE. Just place a small juice glass in the center of the cake. Add water and a bouquet. I've also cut the cakes in half and spread the surface with sugar-free pudding and sliced fruit.

Note:

White, mismatched dishes can be bought all at once (see the Gollum Dishes,) or collected over time. Many dishaholics like myself do both! You can buy one large set of dishes and add pieces that you find at tag sales, etc. I found an inexpensive, gorgeous set of white Clairmont dishes in 2009 at Big Lots. They may still be available at Amazon.

Dear Michael,Your table setting is beautiful. I love the oranges and hints of Fall. Feels like you're celebrating the end-of-Summer, and I love that!Thank you for hosting another inspirational link party.Have a beautiful weekend,Suzanne

Hi Michael,My goodness, I am so sorry about you having West Nile, we have had several cases of that near here, glad your husband has you taking care of yourself. Hope you recover very soon! Your beautiful photo's always make me feel better!Miz Helen

Oh no, I was hoping you'd be feeling better now, so so sorry...you are so sweet to keep the party going, I can't imagine how frustrated you must be~I hope you are curled up reading AND writing lots of good books and eating some guilt free cake! Your white plates and bowls are stunning~Jenna

I am so sorry to hear that you are not feeling tip top. Bed rest is always good when you have another cook in the house to feed you with a lovely tray of food. Please tell Bandy to treat you well and watch out for Dr. House. I'm sure that your Dr. is much sweeter than the TV one. Have a healthy weekend.Ahrisha

I'm so sorry you are not well, Michael! I do hope you feel better soon. Your tablescape is gorgeous, perfect for fall, and I love the guilt-free cake :-) This week I've shared my Butternut Pecan Loaf Cake, a delicious autumn cake with a not so secret healthy ingredient :-)

I am terrified of ticks this year!! I bought some cute garden boots and I wear them every time I work in the garden, thinking that the ticks won't be able to climb up them. Rest! Rest! Rest! And get better!

Michael, First of all I hope you recover from your illness very soon. I hear the West Nile virus can be pretty nasty. Thank you for sharing your "old but cheerful" post with us. To me it is all new. The plates, tablecloth, chargers, flowers and everything look lovely. I bookmarked the asparagus tart. I cannot wait to try it for Sunday Brunch. Oh heck, I think I'll make it tonight. Thank you for hosting the party.

Michael, I'm going to make your cake Thursday for our supper club. That asparagus tart, is the cutest idea for a tart. I should make that too. Thanks Doll!Oh crap I had to go make sure I spelled asparagus right.

I'm so glad you shared this gorgeous tablescape -- it's so cheery! I hope you'll be completely healed very soon!My link this week is Mediterranean Beef Roast in the Slow Cooker. Looking forward to seeing more of your beautiful photos --Pat
